Problems connecting to Xbox Live

If you are unable to connect to Xbox on your Windows Phone and can’t start Wordament, note that Xbox recently updated its Terms of Service. You may have to accept the updated terms to be able to play. To resolve the issue, follow these steps.

Note Accepting this change to the terms of service cannot be directly handled within the game. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Select Games Hub on your Windows Phone.

Flick right to Xbox Live. A full-screen message should appear.

If the message does not appear, tap the ellipsis (…) on the bottom right.

Accept the terms of service.

After you accept the terms of service, you’ll be able to sign in to Xbox and play Wordament again. Hope to see you back on the leader boards soon!

Ensure Xbox Live connections are allowed by your phone

Select Settings on your Windows Phone.

Flick right to Applications.

Select Games.

Make sure that “Connect with Xbox Live” is set to On.

Verify the time is set correctly on your phone

Select Settings on your Windows Phone.

Ensure your phone has the latest information from Xbox Live

Select Games Hub on your Windows Phone.

Flick right to Xbox Live.

Ensure you have a strong Internet connection

Depending on the quality of mobile data reception in your area, you may need to use a Wi-Fi connection to play.

If none of the above solutions work, uninstall Wordament, reboot your phone and then reinstall Wordament from the Wordament for Windows Phone page.
